Referring to FIGS. 2, the display apparatus may include a backlight unitBLU, a liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT, and a photoluminescencesubstrate PL and a third polarizer POL3.

The backlight unit BLU may be disposed under the liquid crystal TFTsubstrate LCTFT to provide light to the liquid crystal TFT substrateLCTFT. More particularly, the backlight unit BLU may include a lightsource generating blue light, a red color conversion material and greencolor conversion material. The red color conversion material may be redquantum dot particles and/or red phosphor. The green color conversionmaterial may be green quantum dot particles and/or green phosphor. Here,the red color conversion material and/or red phosphor in the backlightunit BLU may be only about 5 to 25 wt % of a total weight of the redquantum dot particles and/or red phosphor used in a comparative examplefor emitting white light from the backlight unit BLU. In addition, thegreen color conversion material and/or green phosphor may contain onlyabout 5 to 25 wt % of an amount of the green quantum dot particlesand/or green phosphor used in the comparative example for emitting whitelight from the backlight unit BLU. If amounts of the green colorconversion material and the red color conversion material are defined as100 wt % each when the backlight unit BLU, in the comparative example,includes the green color conversion material and the red colorconversion material to emit white light, amounts of the green colorconversion material and the red color conversion material of the presentexample embodiment is about 5 to 25 wt % compared to the comparativeexample.

Thus, the backlight unit BLU may include the light source emitting theblue light, and only a small amount of the red color conversion materialand/or red phosphor and the green color conversion material and/or greenphosphor. Accordingly, the backlight unit BLU may provide sky blue lightto the liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT.

Here, the light source emitting the blue light may have a maximum peakwavelength of 455 nm (nanometer) or less. For example, the light sourcemay be a blue LED having a maximum peak wavelength of 450 nm.

The liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT may include a liquid crystalpanel 100 including a liquid crystal layer and a thin film transistor, afirst polarizer POL1 and a second polarizer POL2.

The liquid crystal layer may include liquid crystal molecules havingoptical anisotropy. The liquid crystal molecules are driven by electricfield, so that an image is displayed by passing or blocking lightthrough the liquid crystal layer.

The first polarizer POL1 may be disposed between the liquid crystal pane100 and the backlight unit BLU. The first polarizer POL1 may be anabsorbing type polarizing plate such as a general polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) polarizing plate or a reflection type polarizing plate such as awire grid polarizer.

The second polarizer POL2 may be disposed between the liquid crystalpanel 100 and the photoluminescence substrate PL. The second polarizerPOL2 may be an absorbing type polarizing plate such as a generalpolyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing plate or a reflection type polarizingplate such as a wire grid polarizer. A polarizing axis of the secondpolarizer POL2 may be perpendicular to a polarizing axis of the firstpolarizer POL1.

The photoluminescence substrate PL may include a second base substrate210, a black matrix BM, a first color filter RCF, a second color filterGCF, a first color conversion pattern R, a second color conversionpattern G, a third color conversion pattern B and a scattering layer220.

The second base substrate 210 may include a transparent insulationsubstrate. For example, the second base substrate 210 may include aglass substrate, a quartz substrate, a transparent resin substrate, etc.Examples of the transparent resin substrate for the second basesubstrate 210 may include polyimide-based resin, acryl-based resin,polyacrylate-based resin, polycarbonate-based resin, polyether-basedresin, sulfonic acid containing resin, polyethyleneterephthalate-basedresin, etc.

The black matrix BM may be disposed on the second base substrate 210.The black matrix BM may include a light blocking material. For example,the black matrix BM may include an organic material that absorbs light.The black matrix BM may be disposed between the first, second, and thirdpixel areas SP1, SP2, and SP3 to divide each of the pixel areas. In someexample embodiment, the black matrix BM may include a metal that blockslight.

The first color filter RCF may be disposed on the second base substrate210 in the first pixel area SP1. The first color filter RCF may be a redcolor filter. The first color filter RCF may pass only a wavelength bandcorresponding to red light of the light passing through the first colorfilter RCF.

The second color filter GCF may be disposed on the second base substrate210 in the second pixel area SP2. The second color filter GCF may be agreen color filter. The second color filter GCF may pass only awavelength band corresponding to green light of the light passingthrough the second color filter GCF.

The first color conversion pattern R may be disposed on the first colorfilter RCF to overlap the first pixel area SP1. The first colorconversion pattern R may be a red color conversion pattern. The firstcolor conversion pattern R may convert the blue light provided from thebacklight unit BLU into red light. For example, the first colorconversion pattern R may include red quantum dot particles and/or redphosphor. Here, the backlight unit BLU includes about 5 to 25 wt % ofthe red quantum dot particles and/or red phosphor, so that the firstcolor conversion pattern R may include the remainder of about 75 to 95wt % of the red quantum dot particles and/or the red phosphors.

The second color conversion pattern G may be disposed on the secondcolor filter GCF to overlap the second pixel area SP2. The second colorconversion pattern G may be a green color conversion pattern. The secondcolor conversion pattern G may convert the blue light provided from thebacklight unit BLU into green light. For example, the second colorconversion pattern G may include green quantum dot particles and/orgreen phosphor. the backlight unit BLU. Here, the backlight unit BLUincludes about 5 to 25 wt % of the green quantum dot particles and/orgreen phosphor, so that the second color conversion pattern G mayinclude the remainder of about 75 to 95 wt % of the green quantum dotparticles and/or the green phosphors.

The red or green quantum dot may be a material that has a nanoscalestructure and may include several hundred to several thousand atoms.Since the quantum dot is very small in size, a quantum confinementeffect may occur. The quantum confinement effect may indicate that anenergy band gap of an object is increased when the object becomessmaller than nano size. When the light having energy higher than that ofthe band gap is incident to the quantum dot, the quantum dot may absorbthe light and may emit a second light having a specific wavelength andan energy level in the ground state. The wavelength of the emittedsecond light may have a value corresponding to the band gap. When a sizeand a composition of the quantum dot are adjusted, the emission propertyof the quantum dot may be controlled by the quantum confinement.

The composition of the quantum dots is not limited to a specificcomposition, and any suitable composition may be used. For example, thequantum dot may be a quantum dot of Group II-VI elements, Group III-Velements, Group IV elements, or Group IV-VI elements. The Group IIelements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one ofzinc, cadmium, and mercury. The Group III elements may be selected fromthe group consisting of at least one of aluminum, gallium, and indium.The Group IV elements may be selected from the group consisting of atleast one of silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. The Group V elements maybe selected from the group consisting of at least one of nitrogen,phosphorus, and arsenic. The Group VI elements may be selected from thegroup consisting of at least one of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium.

The third color conversion pattern B may be disposed on the second basesubstrate 210 to overlap the third pixel area SP3. The third colorconversion pattern B may include scattering particles that changetraveling direction of light passing therethrough without changingcolor. The scattering particles may be particles of TiO2 or the like.Here, the third color conversion pattern B may include blue pigment forconverting light passing therethrough to blue light, and size of thescattering particle may be similar to size of the red quantum dotparticle or the green quantum dot particle. In addition, the third colorconversion pattern B may further include a blue pigment for convertinglight passing therethrough to blue light. In some example embodiments,the third color conversion pattern B may include blue quantum dotparticles and/or blue phosphor similarly to the first and second colorconversion patterns R and G.

The scattering layer 220 may be disposed on the first to third colorconversion patterns R, G and B. The scattering layer 220 may be disposedcorresponding to entire of the first to third pixel areas SP1 to SP3.The scattering layer 220 may include scattering particles that changetraveling direction of light passing therethrough without changingcolor. The scattering particles may be particles of TiO2 or the like. Insome example embodiment, a planarization layer including an insulatingmaterial and including a flat upper surface may be disposed instead ofthe scattering layer 220.

The third polarizer POL3 may be disposed on the photoluminescencesubstrate PL. Thus, the photoluminescence substrate PL may be disposedbetween the third polarizer POL3 and the liquid crystal TFT substrateLCTFT. The third polarizer POL3 may be a traditional leaner polarizer.For example, the third polarizer POL3 may be an absorbing typepolarizing plate such as a general polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizingplate. A polarizing axis of the third polarizer POL3 may be the same asthe polarizing axis of the second polarizer POL2. When the polarizingaxis of the third polarizer POL3 and the polarizing axis of the secondpolarizer POL2 are the same, the light passing through the secondpolarizer POL2 passes through the third polarizer POL3 and thetransmittance can be maximized.

According to the present embodiment, since the display apparatus doesnot include a ¼ wave polarizer to reduce reflection of external light,transmittance may be improved, the structure may be simple, and themanufacturing cost may be reduced. In addition, the transmittance may beimproved and the reflection of external light may be prevented by thesecond polarizer POL2 and the third polarizer POL3 which have the samepolarizing axis, and by the black matrix BM absorbing light, compare tothe conventional ¼ polarizer.

In addition, the scattering layer is formed under the first and secondcolor conversion patterns R and G, so that light efficiency may beincreased.

In addition, a blue light emitting diode (LED) having a maximum peakwavelength of 455 nm or less may be used as the light source of thebacklight unit BLU. A blue LED with a maximum peak wavelength of 450 nm,which is relatively inexpensive, can be used. Thus, the manufacturingcost can be reduced. In addition, since the luminescence efficiency fora short wavelength of a quantum dot is higher than the luminescenceefficiency for a long wavelength, the luminous efficiency of the firstand second color conversion patterns R and G can be improved as themaximum peak wavelength of the light source is lower that of theconventional light source.

Although the pixel electrodes of the display apparatus are formed on thelower substrate and the common electrodes are formed on the uppersubstrate in this embodiment, the structure of the display apparatus isnot limited thereto. For example, the common electrode and the pixelelectrode may be formed on the lower substrate or have different shapesdepending on the mode of the liquid crystal TFT substrate of the displayapparatus.

FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view illustrating color conversion of thedisplay apparatus of FIG. 2 in a first pixel area.

And then, the non-polarized green light passes through thethird polarizing element POL3 and may be finally emitted as polarizedgreen light.

Thepolarized blue light, the polarized green light and the polarized redlight passes through the photoluminescence substrate PL and can beconverted into non-polarized blue light from the blue light componentgenerated in the backlight unit BLU. And then, the non-polarized bluelight passes through the third polarizing element POL3 and may befinally emitted as polarized blue light.
